There's an old cliche about teaching an old dog new tricks. Having recently taught an elderly basset hound how to speak on command I'm afraid I have to disagree. Now, my cute baby wasn't going to bark for no reason. I had to entice her somehow. I had to show her that there was a benefit for what she was going to do for me. This benefit came in the form of a Milk Bone. Old dog + Milk Bone = New Trick. Simple enough, right? If you're looking for innovation in a department that has always operated in a certain way, there's a chance you get could get some resistance. Most companies are familiar with the idea of an audio conference. It makes sense. Get everyone on the phone together and everyone talks about the same thing at the same time. As technology has grown, so have the things you can do through a conference provider. If you think it might be time to step up your game a bit, it might be time to put some Milk Bones on the table. Remember to dive in slowly. If you are working with a team of people who might be resistant to change or confused by new technologies, you want to introduce them slowly. Introduce them to something like simple PowerPoint sharing first. When you're trying to introduce the unfamiliar you should always do it slowly. Throwing someone into the water and telling them to sink or swim won't give anyone any confidence with a new technology. Encourage them to try out the software with different people and let them do test runs. Be available for questions and call your conference provider to set up a demonstration with your company or department, so if there are questions you can't answer, you have someone on the phone who can take the lead. Remind your team why this is a good option. It's on demand, always available, without printouts or handouts, no travel, and it saves you money. What do you think? Can you teach an old dog new tricks?
Web Conferencing
I love this time of year and even though it's 80 degrees, I'm still in the spirit. This holiday I'm excited to cook and host my first family dinner. I thought I'd share some of the recipes I'll be using this year. I've never made a pie from scratch before so this one is a little on the scary side. I'm hoping it will go well and if it doesn't, I have the no bake cheesecake as my alternate.
I'll be making Dr. Pepper Ham,Velveeta fudge, and a caramel pecan pie.
Happy Holidays everyone!
Last week, Seth Godin wrote
a blog about how to prepare for the fall back of the 2%. A really
interesting post that basically says you can make something as easy as pie, but
there's still going to be a group who doesn't quite get it.
When it comes to conference calls, you can use a registration
page to prepare for the 2%. Creating a registration page will create a link for
you to send out. It will direct them to a sign up page that will gather
information and allow them to register for the call. It will save their name,
company, and email so that you'll know who to expect.
The registration page can also set up reminders to go out
for your participants so that you can make sure each person received a notice
that they signed up for the conference. Someone will always forget that they are
supposed to be on the call, so having a reminder system in place is always a
good idea.
For after the conference, the registration page not only
stores who signed up for the conference but also takes a log of which of those
people showed up. This allows you the ability for the all important
follow up. If the conference is a mandatory call for employees or business
partners you have record of attendance so you can schedule a make up date. You
also have a record of contact information to follow up with those who did not
There is nothing you can do to "fix" the 2% but
you can put something in place, even in a conference situation, where you can
have that extra help.
How do you prepare for the 2%?
Conference Calls
It's Friday morning -- which around here means breakfast time. It's sort of a time honored tradition. This morning, we decided to hit up one of the major fast food chains and I volunteered to go pick it up. Two things happened:
1. I got to hear a very irate man get all peeved because the nice lady asked him to hold on for a moment."I don't have time to wait". (Well, you'd be waiting if you were in line, sir. Behind me.)
2. I learned that customer service is not lost in the fast food industry --- at least, not yet. The nice lady wrote the order numbers on each of the bags, even though she was juggling drive through at the same time.
Thanks for reminding me that customer service is still everywhere Dorothy. You made my day extra nice... and super delicious.

Business Communications
It's clear that conference calls are a vital part of any business. More than likely you'll find yourself dealing with multiple businesses that use multiple conference call providers. With your week filling with different conferences to attend, meetings to go to, how do you keep it all together? You use your phone calendar to store your daily plans and until now there wasn't an application that helped you do the same thing with your different conference calls numbers and codes.
AccuConference is happily presenting our updated iPhone application, AccuDial. It's a free conferencing tool that's available from the App store or iTunes that can help you to keep all of your conferences together. It's pretty simple. Just download the application, enter a new conference, and plug in the information. Name it anything you would like and attach a date and time to it if you like. When it's time for the conference you can either sort by the name or the date to find the right conference for the day (or the hour).
This application is not limited for use by AccuConference customers and allows anyone with an iPhone to connect to a conference call hosted by any teleconferencing provider. To get started, simply download the application, select it from the home screen, click on the settings (the wheel in the top right hand corner) and start adding conferences. You can add up to fifty and if you need help figuring out what goes where, just click on "help" in the top of the screen to pop up some quick descriptions and suggestions on how you can use the different options.
Since it's free, there's no reason not to give it a try, right? Go on over to the App Store or to iTunes and download the application and give it a try. If you have comments or suggestions, you can leave them here.

The future is tomorrow… but then I guess it always is, isn't it. As far as the next big things of work and the workplace, we're already seeing "the future", or more exact, the changing of the past. In an interesting article by The Futurist on the Britannica.com, they have predictions of the future of work. Going hand in hand with the article, I think that we who use conferencing are already working in the future.
It's not really stated in the article, but I believe that all the major changes—barring the generational changeover—stem from our ability to communicate and collaborate effectively despite distance. For example, the second prediction says we'll be working for smaller, leaner companies organized to take advantage of outsourcing and consultants. The only way that could make sense financially is if conferencing is at the core.
The "what" and "when" of work in the future is made possible and regulated by conferencing technology. If a company wants to have employees responsible for the big picture of the company in addition to their personal work and sell 24/7 in an on-demand, internet-driven marketplace, conferencing will have to be at the foundation.
Obviously the move towards smaller offices, home offices, and the like, located to take advantage of geographic, convenient, or financial benefits--rather than large, single location workforces for command and control purposes—will only be possible through conferencing—or teleporting.
So if The Futurist is a bang-on prognosticator and these visions of the future of work are going to come true, a company should adopt conferencing now to have a solid foundation to support all the changes to come.
For all of us already heavily leaning on conferencing, the future looks mighty rosy! How do you think things will be in the workplace of the future? Tell us about it in a comment.
What is the point of a lecture or presentation? In most cases, it's to educate or inform the audience and influence them in some way. So when we've put a lot of time and thought into what we're going to say, we want to do everything possible to pull off a successful presentation. One of those things we can do isn't something we actually do… it's something our audience does. Backchannel communications is any form of exchange of information "behind the scenes" during a conference or presentation. At many conventions, a Twitter-stream provides an overall backchannel for the convention participants. And it's not only for them. Participants who couldn't make it, and anyone else interested in the convention can follow the events, happenings, and impressions of the tweeters in attendance. For presentations in general and conferencing specifically, a backchannel of communication for the audience can greatly increase conferencing benefits. For one thing, people can talk about what we're saying, even as we're saying it. They can post their thoughts, feelings, ideas, have an interesting counterpoint to make, more information, or a better conclusion. Without really realizing it, all of them are collaborating every time they post or even read a post; and all this going on in real time. The backchannel isn't just for the participants either. If we add a web conference to our conference call and activate the chat feature, we can get instant feedback by glancing at chat activity while we speak. This can help us know when to clarify, when to move on, when they're with us, and when we've lost them. People seem to feel much more comfortable posting their questions on chat than having to ask them aloud. And because the questions are posted when they're thought of, they're not forgotten by Q&A time. Also, since we can see a question pop up, we can choose to stop and answer right then, ignore it, or work the answer into our lecture. For a truly dynamic, controlled group discussion, you really can't beat a good chat backchannel. What other ways can we create a communications backchannel in our conferences? How else can it be used?

I would say that it's normal, but I believe that they should have asked for pemission first. There are times when a parent would not want their child's picture taken (safety things and such). More than likely, the picture is going to be used for scrap book of sorts for your child to bring home after camp is done, so the teacher didn't think anything was wrong with it.

As we get ready for the start of game one of the Stanley Cup finals, I thought it'd be wise to drop in my predictions. I know I haven't done any predictions for the 2011 playoffs like I have for previous years, mostly because it's been a crapshoot this year, but I'm weighing in now. Here we go.
While these two teams are closer than a lot of people are willing to admit, I think there are two key areas (that everyone else hasn't already mentioned) that separate the Vancouver Canucks from the Boston Bruins.
Top Lines
There's no doubt that the Bruins have some terrific offensive depth. It's a large reason why they are in the Stanley Cup finals. However, their top line of Lucic – Krejci – Horton isn't quite a top line. It's more of a strong second line and it pales in comparison to the D. Sedin – H. Sedin – Burrows line of Vancouver. It's not even a debate. When you break down the Bruins second line of Marchand – Bergeron – Recchi, it's solid, but no better than the Canucks second line of Raymond – Kesler – Higgins. Boston are rocking a 2a and 2b type set up for lines. Sure, it's good enough to get you through the East, but not the Western Conference champs in Vancouver.

The Associated Press
BROOKFIELD, Mass. — The bobcat that attacked a Massachusetts man and his nephew had rabies.
Roger Mundell Jr. bears cuts on his face from an attack by a bobcat in his garage in Brookfield, Mass. The cat ran out of the garage and bit Mundell's 15-year-old nephew on the arms and back before it was shot dead.
The Telegram & Gazette reports that state lab results on the dead animal were announced at Tuesday night's select board meeting in Brookfield.
Wildlife officials suspected that the bobcat that attacked Roger Mundell Jr. on Sunday was rabid because of its unusually aggressive behavior.
After pouncing on Mundell, sinking its teeth into his face and its claws in his back and holding him in what he described as a bear hug, the animal went outside and bit the 15-year-old boy.
Mundell shot and killed the bobcat.
He, his nephew and his wife — who was not bitten but got the animal's blood on her — have already started rabies treatments.

MUSIC FORUM's SONG REVIEW # 1
Ok people! here's our first review ever. ...I didn't think it was gonna happen, but these guys proved me wrong. If you enjoy these reviews comment away, and feel free to participate in future ones.
I'm posting the first two, and waiting for the third one to be completed.
Pete! enjoy man! Hopefully we weren't too rough on you.
Without further ado:
Here we go!
Link: http://soundcloud.com/the-auteurist/raintown-road
Artist: The Auteurist (Pete)
Song title: "Raintown Road"
About song: (A robotic monk meets Animal from The Muppets).
Genre:Robotic TechRock
Vocal/Intrumental: Contains some vocal snippets
Tools: Started in Reason 2.5 & remastered in Record.
Review 1: SoftEnerji (Mark)
Review 2: Ecopro (Ed)
Review 3: AvatarOne (coming soon)
Here's a quote from "The Auterist":
"It's an older one of mine that I remastered recently, called 'Raintown Road'. It was originally written with Reason 2.5! It's since had the record treatment. It's a track like, and would like to try and do 'something' with one day, so some opinions could be helpful"
"It was written using R2.5, but remastered in record (simply, by running the old exported wav through the master bus compressor). Thus, there are no combis or thors in the track at all. The lead 'vocal' sound is a single subtractor with a scream!"
Soft Enerji's review of The Auteurist's Raintown Road
Review 1
Let me start by saying that since I've been hanging out on the Music Forum I've been listening to a wider variety of music than I would normally do. That's not to say my musical tastes are limited, far from it but I have to say my ears have been opened and for the most part it has been a very pleasant experience. I don't think we ever stop learning in music and this Propellerheads community we are part of is probably one of the friendliest out there and we can all help and learn from each other. Ecopro's idea for these song reviews is another example of how this community works and I'm happy to be involved.
Anyway, that's enough waffle from me, on with the review.
I did start off by trying to comment on each of the categories but I struggled with that and felt that I would be better to put my overall thoughts down first and come back to the categories later so I decided to first review the track on it's merits as I found them.
Raintown Road starts with an intro section which at first I thought was a bit overpowering (it actually drops in level slightly on about 0.8 so maybe start off at that same level or a subtle fade in would suit it better), but once the bass and drums kick in on .15 it does all comes together.
The pounding 4/4 beat and ominous synth bass line really gets this track underway and once the hats kicked in I definitely got the feeling that this was really going to get big, and I wasn't to be disappointed! All of a sudden the vocal sample jumps right out at you! I was instantly reminded of a Deep Forest or Enigma style chanting but soon I realised Pete has taken this to another level altogether. His comment on the track about a Robotic Monk is probably right on the money. The vocal starts to go ballistic at about 1.19 just as nearly everything else drops out which is a nice touch and the effect had me smiling. The steady build from there has a nice sense of space and the almost dub style stutter and stop at about 2.10 sets the scene for the rest of the track. When at about 2.53 the vocal really goes off the scale I was grinning like a madman. It is seriously that good!
The end section from about 3.31 took me by totally by surprise. I wasn't expecting such a dramatic change but it works so well. The track could have just stopped at 3.31 but this just adds another dimension to it.
Part 2
I guess now that I've put my thoughts down in black and white I should be able to address the categories, funny that, so here goes.
Originality: Yes it has a certain degree of originality. Pete has very cleverly got the vocal chant to take the song through different levels.
Essence: Pete has absolutely nailed it with Raintown Road. It's an emotive and thought provoking journey that has a feeling of euphoria flowing throughout. It has a degree of unpredictability as well which is always good in my opinion.
Production Technique: It sounds pretty damn good through my Sennheiser headphones but I will give it another listen through my monitors on the weekend before I post and come back and edit this.
Edit: Saturday afternoon on a warm sticky day in Sydney. Air con on, monitors on. As noted before I'd maybe drop the level of the synth drone at the start and perhaps there's a little bit of distortion on the drums that could be cleaned up. Could it be the MP3 file? I'm really not a fan of these. I'd love to hear this as a WAV or AIFF. Aside from that I reckon it sounds pretty good.
Sounds/Instruments and Quality: The synth drone, hmmmm I keep coming back to that, I wasn't so sure at first but the more I hear it the more it works. The bass sound is excellent and sits well. The drum programming is top notch and the vocal, as already mentioned is superb!
Overall appeal: I really enjoyed it! Pete has got just about everything right from where I stand. Pete, you mentioned you wanted to try and do "something" with it one day and obviously you have your ideas but something I kept hearing in the back of my head is some piano, something really light and simple....just a thought.
Well there you have it, my first ever full review of a piece of music. It definitely wasn't easy but it was inspiring and fun to do. Thanks for the track Pete and for putting yourself on the firing line.

Review 2
Ecopro's Review of "Raintown Road"by The Auterist.
The track is pretty unique in the way that the effects have been applied, which says a lot about the creator and his knowledge of Reason/Record effect manipulating skills. For Example, the swirly, buzzy effect on the main synth starting from the intro, the cool stuttering effect @ the 2:06 mark, the flanged/filtered vocal snippets introduced @ the 2:53 mark, and the filtered/distorted drums towards the end along with the final quirky robotic sample.
The chord progressions pretty much stayed constant throughout the track, but did not detract because of their sheer quality. The intro synth started very sinister and kept intriguing throughout. Melody wise, nothing seems spectacularly original, but at the same time, nothing seems predictable or clichéd.
I don't know if the track adds anything new to the genre, as this is a mixture of different styles. Because of that mix of styles, it makes the sound more appealing to the ear though.
First it gets me in a mysterious/intriguing mood. After the beat kicks in though, it makes me feel energetic, and makes me bop my head to the rhythm.
Even though the track does not have much variation in terms of melody or progression, it kept me interested until the 3:31 mark. After that, the next part sounds like a completely different track for the remaining 36 seconds. It sounds more like an interlude to a next track, which can be considered unnecessary in relation to the rest of the track; unless it would be in an album with another track following the interlude.
It does have some smooth transitions like that breakdown @ THE 2:06 mark, after the stuttering part, followed by the reversed beat that shows the creator's ability to make transitions work.
~Production Technique~
The quality of production is crisp, a bit on the industrial & dirty-lo-fi sound, especially on the drums. At the 2:42 mark, a more driving kick drum is introduced that goes well together with the vocal mangling that's going on in that section. What a cool and manic section this one is.
Everything sounds the way it should in an all-Electronic mix. Bass is strong, without being overpowering; mids are clear, treble is not too bright. I didn't hear any presence of muddiness, but due to the lo-fi nature of the mix, the ambience and overall feel tend to stay on the dark & dirty side.
The mix shows up at its optimum volume, & there's no clipping present. The dynamics do not seem to be squashed by extreme compression either. There are no phasing or clashing issues and the only distortion present is towards the end, it was intentionally applied on the drums, & didn't bother my ears.
The mix as a whole sounded even, & sparse. The stereo image was used effectively, without it being too cluttered. The effects used on the instruments correlating with the vocals and the drums create the right atmosphere.
~Sounds/Instruments quality~
The sounds, synths, & samples were well chosen and they do match the style of the song.
Even if the producer used the sounds of a known refill or patch, nothing sounds generic, because these sounds were manipulated and tweaked to the user's content, which is always a good thing.
The only part that might need some tweaking or replacement is the break beat introduced @ the 1:27 mark. This sounds a bit on the thin side, almost as if the sound used was mono. I think, a thicker, crunchier break beat can help here, or it might help to EQ it to fit the part better.
~Overall Appeal~
In a combination of all categories above:
Overall, I think the sinister sound does grab you almost immediately, along with the catchy mad-monk-like chanting vocals throughout. I think that if you are going to add singing later on, it could work with some vocals in the style of "Mesh", or "Assemblage 23".
In my opinion, the track grows on you on every listen, giving the listener enough enticement to come back for another go. I don't hear this song as a potential "commercial" radio hit, but more of an independent, underground sound, like the bands I mentioned above.
This track doesn't excel in terms of variety, or beautiful lush melodies, but it shows its magic in production quality, and sound manipulation. Great work Pete, I hope all the best to you and I'm looking forward to your future productions.

Thanks so much to Ed and Mark for taking the time to review my track, and I eagerly await AvatarOne's opinion also.
Guys, you were very gracious with the reviews, but have also given me the motivation to revisit the track and make it even better. Thanks again.
I'll post more of a thorough 'debrief' once I've read the third review.
No worries Pete it was fun to do. I think the rules are that you do the next review. Ecopro, we got any tracks yet?
Loading SoundCloud…
Great Pete! I still haven't gotten anything from AvatarOne. We'll see what happens there.
Your track is next on line Mark. Are you ready with it yet? We can start passing it to Pete so that he can start working on it.
I will need two more reviewers!
A new day is coming...

Saturday Showdown Dirt Series announced for HPT
Saturday Showdown Dirt Series announced forВ HPT
TOPEKA, KS. (October 23, 2008) – Heartland Park Topeka is excited to announce big changes to their dirt track series. In 2009, the Saturday showdown dirt series will run weekly.
The season will kick-off with a bang on Saturday, April 11 with festivities for the whole family.В Fireworks and fun will fill the air as Heartland Park Topeka and dirt track fans celebrate the start of the brand new season.В Modified, B Mod, Factory Stock and Hobby Stock will compete every Saturday night throughout the summer and conclude the season in mid-October. 2009 will also feature other fan-favorites such as demolition derbies, trailer races and many others.
"The decision to move to Saturday night was a result of an overwhelming response from our competitors, fans, and sponsors. They all wanted a dirt series at Heartland Park that did not interfere with Friday night activities and Sunday family gatherings. This is a great move for us and will continue our growth in the racing and entertainment industry," said Raymond Irwin, owner of Heartland Park Topeka.
In addition to the brand new dirt series schedule, Heartland Park Topeka is also proud to welcome Alan Covert as the new dirt track manager. Covert has been around dirt track racing almost his entire life, as a racer, spectator and supplier, so he is well aware of how important the move to Saturday night is to Heartland Park Topeka.
"Having the dirt series every Saturday is a great move because it will allow Heartland Park to move to the next level of dirt track racing. It will provide more excitement and better overall competition," said Covert.
Visit hpt.com or call 800-43-RACES for more information on the complete Saturday showdown dirt series schedule. В

text: The pilot light heats up a sensor - that sensor must be properly positioned and clean to produce the signal that tells the WH it's okay to turn on the main burner. Replacing the pilot light assembly may mean the flame size or position isn't correct to heat that sensor (a thermocouple), thus, the WH thinks it is unsafe to turn on the burner. If that isn't it, it's either the thermocouple, the gas valve itself, or you didn't turn the valve to operate, and it's still on pilot.

During the residencies, visiting artists, art critics, curators, and art historians from throughout the art world join the community and become active participants in the dialogues about art and art-making.
The Art Talks Lecture Series is sponsored by the MFA in Visual Arts program at Lesley University and Massachusetts Cultural Council.
All Events 7:00 pm–9:00 pmBoston University, Kenmore Classroom Building 565 Commonwealth Avenue, Room 101MBTA: Green Line, Kenmore T stop.Free and open to the public.For more information call: 617.585.6770
At key moments across the 20th century works by self-taught artists of various kinds—visionaries, naifs,
primitives, folk and outsiders—have been embraced by the professional art world. First artists, then gallerists,
institutions and critics avidly responded to the work of marginalized autodidacts in search of inspiration and
perhaps even redemption. Given that history, how tenable are recent claims that classificatory distinctions
should be dissolved, and all creators, schooled and unschooled, be accorded the honorific "artist"?
Lynne Cooke is currently researching the changing interface of mainstream and outlier artists in the United States
in the 20th century for a forthcoming exhibition. Formerly Curator at Dia Art Foundation, New York, and Chief
Curator, Museo Reina Sofia, Madrid, 2008-2012, she is the Andrew W Mellon Professor at CASVA, National Gallery
of Art, Washington DC.. (Image caption: Horace Pippin, Holy Mountain III, August 9, 1945. Oil on canvas. Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden,
Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. Gift of Joseph H. Hirshhorn, 1966.)
Matt Keegan will discuss the collaborative strand of his art practice that extends back to the sophomore year
of his BFA studies. He will talk about his work as an organizer of exhibitions, independent publisher, and his
recent 2-person exhibitions.
Matt Keegan is a New York based artist. Recent solo exhibitions include Galeria Pedro Cera, Lisbon; Altman
Siegel Gallery, San Francisco; and D'Amelio Terras, NYC. His work was featured in a three-person exhibition at
the Art Institute of Chicago, and group shows at the Deutsche Guggenheim, Berlin, SFMOMA, San Francisco,
FOAM, Amsterdam, and the Aspen Art Museum. His work is included in numerous private and public
collections, including The Whitney Museum of American Art, the Guggenheim Museum, and The Metropolitan
Museum of Art. Keegan was the co-founder and editor of North Drive Press, an annual art publication
published from 2004-2010. Last year, Keegan edited ==, an art edition published by mfc michéle didier. (Image caption: It's Not You It's Me, 2011. Laser cut steel, 30" x 30". Edition of 3.)
María Magdalena Campos-Pons, one of the most prominent artists to emerge from post- Revolutionary Cuba,
will lecture on her trans-disciplinary practice which is deeply invested in the discourse of exilic identity, individual
freedom, cultural heritage/hybridism, and racial and national politics. Starting with her experiences as Afro-
Cuban woman whose ancestors were displaced from Africa, her exile from Cuba, and her experiences in the USA,
Campos-Pons's considers identity as fluid, contradictory, and unstable within today's globalized world.
María Magdalena Campos-Pons studied at the Escuela Nacional de Arte and the Instituto Superior de Arte in
Havana as well as Massachusetts College of Art. Campos-Pons's many exhibitions include Bass Museum, Miami;
MIT List, Cambridge; National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa; TATE Liverpool, UK; P.S.1 and MoMA, NYC; and Museum
Boijmans van Beunigen, Rotterdam. She has participated in several Venice Biennials, most recently in 2013. She
teaches at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. (Photo caption: The Flag Year 13. Color Code Venice, 2013. Composition of nine 24 x 20 Polaroids. Image courtesy of the artist.)
Born in Cairo, curator, writer and editor Omar Kholeif will discuss the curatorial models that inform the work
of contemporary artists in North Africa and the Middle East. How have the personal and the political become
intertwined? How has the language of the media affected the curatorial frameworks in which artists present their
work? He will develop a thesis that argues for an art world that is as de-centered as it is impure.
Currently, he directs The White Building, London, is Senior Editor of Ibraaz, the critical forum about North Africa
and the Middle East, is a Visiting Curator at Cornerhouse (and HOME), Manchester, is Artistic Director of the
Arab British Centre, London, and is advisor to FACT, Liverpool. He has curated exhibitions for Tate Modern and
Whitechapel Gallery, London; Arnolfini, Bristol; Art Dubai, UAE and Beirut, Cairo, among many others. His book,
You Are Here: Looking at Art After the Internet, is forthcoming in 2014. (Photo caption: The Goodness Regime, 2013, Jumana Manna and Sille Storihle. Images courtesy of the artists.)

text: These are my favorite sneaker style shoes I've ever owned. I can compare them to Converse All-Stars, PF Flyers, 2 similar North Face shoes and similar Puma's. First, so far they've held up better than any of the other shoes with the exception of the one of the NF shoes. I wear them daily and the soles show barely any wear. I have the Bracken color, which shoes almost no dirt at all. Second they are more comfy than any others. I have a narrow foot and these seem to run narrow. The padded low cut upper makes them hug my ankles while not digging in. The NF shoes both dig into my ankles. They also have decent arch support. Finally, the style is awesome in my opinion. From the simple sole to the leather highlight, I get complimented on these all the time. The only flaw that I have found is that the stitching on the edge of the tongue might be a bit tight because the tongue curls inwards which causes the edges to fold which is uncomfortable. It's not hard to reach down to unfold but it is kind of annoying. I love these shoes, I hope Merrell continues the line (and I hope they go on sale at REI again) because I plan on getting a few more pairs. Keep up the good work.

March 13, 2014
Washington, D.C. – By a vote of 233-181, the House of Representatives today approved the Executive Needs to Faithfully Observe and Respect Congressional Enactments of the Law (ENFORCE the Law) Act (H.R. 4138), a carefully crafted bill to rein in the growing problem of executive overreach and restore balance to the separation of powers enshrined in our Constitution.
The ENFORCE the Law Act, introduced by Representatives Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.), Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.), and Representative Jim Gerlach (R-Pa.), puts a procedure in place to permit the House, or the Senate, to authorize a lawsuit against the Executive Branch for failure to faithfully execute the laws.

Jeb Bush, Thomas F. McLarty III, and Edward Alden discuss the recent Independent Task Force on Immigration Policy and argue, "Getting immigration policy right is fundamental to [U.S.] national interests -- our economic vitality, our diplomacy and our national security."
See more in Immigration; United States
The Task Force on U.S. Immigration Policy argues that the failure to reform immigration laws and procedures threatens to harm America's economy, jeopardize its diplomacy, and weaken its national security. It makes the case that maintaining America's political and economic leadership depends on attracting talented and hard-working immigrants, and on securing the country's borders in a smart, effective, and humane way. The report urges Congress and the administration to undertake a new comprehensive reform effort with three central components: the creation of a more efficient legal immigration system that responds to labor market needs and enhances U.S. competitiveness; a strong enforcement regime that secures U.S. borders and ends the hiring of unauthorized workers; and a program of earned legalization that will�offer an opportunity for�many illegal immigrants to earn the right to remain in the United States.
